Fiftyfivechevy should be able to comfortably find the front. Six runners, six chances. SO SNEEKY (6) has been freshened up since a decent effort in a Class 6 over this distance at Wyong on 18 August. Came off a similar break two back over 2400m here and went okay in a race that was a bit far for him. Bourke's claim brings him in nicely so a big run is on the cards. SPITFIRE (2) had been finding the line well in mile races until last time out when disappointing at this track. Has a win and a placing from three tries at this trip so he might be looking for the ten furlongs now. OLD GREGG (4) struggled at the end of 2300m at Newcastle recently. Seven tries at this trip have yielded six top three finishes. Very fit and can bounce back. HIGHBORN HARRY (3) caught the eye late in a similar race to this at Hawkesbury three weeks ago. Arrives here fourth-up and ready to find peak form. SOCRATES (7) likes Kembla and cannot be ruled out despite 33 days between runs. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Sneeky gets the verdict in a tricky little race.
